just one of those things that does happen from time to time....you dont even have to walk away...at the point you want to preview, it will knock you out...
and yes, nothing is saved....so you have a choice, re-type it, or forget about it sorry, but it does happen to all of us once in a while...just one of those things... | ||

Use Word
This does happen from time to time. For short posts I use this interface. For longer posts I always use Word until I get it the way I want and then I paste it in here for posting. I realize it's an extra step but it does save the frustration of losing postings. If you don't have Word you can use Notepad or TextEdit (comes on Windows and MAC computers)just as easily. I use Word because it helps to keep my posts spell checked to. | ||

There are several reasons why this can happen. Having to log in periodically is one reason, a bad internet connection suddenly can do the same thing. Using the back button sometimes helps but not always. Some years ago I learned myself to select the whole text and hit Ctrl C so the text is copied. When something goes wrong you only have to hit Ctrl V to paste the copied text in again. Saves the hassle of rethinking and retyping.

Thanks Matt, yes it's happened to me as well. I could change the log-out for longer than seven days, but that really wouldn't cure the problem. Maybe I can come up with a graphic or color change on the log-out button if it is getting close to log-out time. I'll think about the best way of handling that.

When I back out with the back mouse key, all the way to home page, no issue. Logs out each time. | ||

Robert, is the log-in period a literal 7 days? (ie: 168 hours after logging in, the user will be automatically logged out?)
If so, I wonder if things could be improved by shifting the time duration by 12 hours. For example, changing the login to 6.5 or 7.5 days would mean that, statistically, the user is much more likely to not be kicked during the hours when they frequent the forum. Like if I usually read the forum in the afternoon, I'd do my log-in during the afternoon - but then would be kicked in a week in the early morning hours when I'm less likely to be actively typing a reply. | ||

No, I very much like the 7 day period. Has worked pretty well for years, no need to change that. | ||
